The system comprises a controller arranged to control supply of power to a pump of the pressure sewer installation. The 102 130 controller is arranged to receive an output signal from a sensor in a fluid reservoir of the pressure sewer installation, the output signal being indicative REMOTE of a measured fluid level in the fluid reservoir. A memory is accessible to the SERVER controller and is arranged to store operation information pertaining to opera 110 tion of the pressure sewer installation. A wireless transceiver is in communic 140 ation with the controller to allow the controller to communicate with a re CONTROL ASE mote server over a communications network. = / 7 7W -\37128 W O 20 13/149281 A 1l llll|||lll|||llllllllll llll|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Published: - with international search report (4rt. 21(3))
